Top K'Lavon Chaisson News

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Good to go Sunday

    Chaisson (knee) does not carry an official injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas.

    Chaisson played through his nagging knee issue in Week 1, so it's not too surprising he's in line to do the same in Week 2 despite being limited at practice all week. The return of Dorance Armstrong from a suspension may cut into Chaisson's defensive snap count Sunday.

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Will play Sunday

    Chaisson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Chaisson was a limited participant in all three Week 1 practice sessions. Despite being unable to log a full practice, the linebacker has been cleared of any injury designation and is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest. Chaisson will be the starting edge alongside Odafe Oweh due to Dorance Armstrong's (suspension) absence.

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Limited again Thursday

    Chaisson (knee) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Thursday.

    Chaisson has logged back-to-back limited sessions to open the week as he continues to work his way back from the knee injury he sustained during Washington's joint practice with Miami in early August. The 27-year-old will have one last chance to log a full practice Friday before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Eagles on the road.

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Practices in full Wednesday

    Chaisson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Chaisson suffered a knee injury during a joint practice with the Dolphins in early August. The linebacker sat out all three preseason games but has recovered from the injury at the perfect time. The 27-year-old is all set to suit up for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Eagles.

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Not playing Saturday

    Chaisson (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions.

    Chaisson continues to recover from a knee injury that he picked up in joint practice with the Dolphins two weeks ago. He's been limited to side work during training camp practices, and the Commanders may take the cautious route by sidelining the 2020 first-rounder for the team's preseason finale against the Ravens next Friday.

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Suffers knee injury

    Chaisson suffered a knee injury in last week's joint practice with the Dolphins, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

    Chaisson did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to the injury. With Jer'Zhan Newton (pec) and Odafe Oweh (calf) also sustaining injuries, the Commanders' defensive line looks like it has taken a huge step back just one week into the preseason. Chaisson's return timeline is unclear, and the team will likely look to add a depth pass rusher in free agency ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Lions.

  • Commanders' K'Lavon Chaisson: Sits with injury

    Chaisson (undisclosed) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Chaisson is sitting out with an undisclosed issue. It is unclear when the starting strongside linebacker suffered the issue, as neither he nor the recently injured Odafe Oweh (undisclosed) participated in last Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins. With both primary outside linebackers down for an indeterminate amount of time, Joshua Josephs, Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Drake Jackson should see increased first-team reps.
